Question

How do you factor 1x^2+9x+2

Answer 1

not factorable

Explanation:

To factor a trinomial of the type x^2 + ax + b, you need to find two numbers that add to a and multiply to b.

You have 1x^2 + 9x + 2.

In this case, a = 9 and b = 2.

There are no two integers whose sum is 9 and whose product is 2, so this trinomial is not factorable.
